Dr Mariam Saleh Binladen

Saudi Arabian Dentist, Humanitarian, and Open Water Swimmer

Mariam Binladen is a trailblazer, not only in sports but also in humanitarian advocacy and environmental awareness. As a Saudi endurance swimmer and the first Arab woman to swim the entire length of the River Thames, she has broken barriers and redefined what is possible for women in the region. Her passion for swimming began as a personal challenge but quickly evolved into a powerful platform for activism. With every stroke, Mariam carries messages of hope, resilience, and the need for urgent action on global issues.
